Carla’s Bio

Hello there! I recently moved to NYC from Brazil and I can't wait to find a matching family!
I have 8 years of experience with children and it's what I love doing and I do best!
In general, people feel comfortable around me. I'm easygoing and I guess that says a lot. I work hard! I'm a multi-task, drama free and reliable person. I'm very creative, so DIYs and crafts are my favorite free time activity when I'm not doing outdoors. I'm a tree huger ready to pet all the animals in this world and protect the nature.
My mission with the kids is boosting their motor skills, making reading time fun, come up with games using their imagination instead of a bunch of toys and electronic devices, cooking together while teaching about nutrition and healthy habits, creating instead of buying, exploring the world and caring about the environment, looking at their eyes and having a real and good talk. To have fun, to teach, to learn and much more.
Can't wait to meet you guys!

PS: I'm open to do live-in, but I have a cat. Friendly and discrete cat. I'll get my driver's license soon.

Love,
Carla.
